Hello all,
Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else; I searched but couldn't find anything.
ZT2 runs atrociously bad on my system. The frame rate - even with everything set to low - renders the game almost impossible to play. There is no reason for this that I can tell, seeing as how I run games like FEAR and GR:AW completely maxed out, and they are far more system-intensive than ZT2.
My relevant specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo 6400
2GB DDR2 RAM
Nvidia 7600 GT 256mb
All have the latest drivers and DirectX. I have re-installed countless times (and am going to have to again now, seeing as how I just got MM2 and, like all the other expansions, it tells me ZT2 is not installed, even though it's sitting right there in the default directory) and have all the updates, and frankly am out of solutions other than sub-standard programming, which I am very hesitant to say, seeing as how everyone at Blue Fang has been incredibly supportive and hands-on with this site.
As much as I hate to say it, I am on the verge of taking ZT2 and all the expansions back to the store, because it's simply not worth my effort. I love the game dearly, but enough is enough. The constant installation troubles, combined with in-game bugs and terrible performance makes me think I'm wasting my time.
If anyone here has any ideas on what could be wrong and what is causing the bad performance, please let me know. I would really hate to lose such a great game, but it's the way I'm heading right now. Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry if this post has a negative tone to it - I really don't mean it to sound that way, I'm just more than a little frustrated with it right now :original:
Thanks for your help (in advance).
